Konstanty to Start Opener in Phillies World Series Bid
Phillies veteran Jim Konstanty, recalled from the bullpen and praised by Sawer, is chosen to start against the New York Yankees in the opening game of the World Series. The 33,107 crowd expects a tough test as Konstanty faces Raschi with Curt Simmons unavailable. The Yankees, favored 2 to 1, will counter with Rach, while Philadelphia relies on Konstanty’s unusual motion and a bullpen that has carried the team through the season.
